And presumably during those usability tests, somebody asked those users what they might expect a button that sends and receives email to say instead? What did *they* suggest? I can appreciate their confusion, FWIW... personally I'd just ditch the over-complex drop-down New button, which I'd be surprised if many people use for anything except composing a new mail anyway (while they're in the Mail view), and swap it for a straightforward "Compose" or "Write Mail" button. (Replaced by something equivalent when in Calendar, Tasks or Contact view, of course.) But then again, I didn't see the usability tests :/ Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
